Welcome to the world of society's Underground--the outliers, the disenfranchised, the truly mad, and those living on the fringe--whose secrets just may change the way you think about life.
Murray is an enigma. And a walking, talking example of everyone's worst fear: to be exposed for the impostors they are. As he negotiates the strange and twisted world of the San Francisco Underground, Murray juggles his work at the pirated radio station, with spending time in a psychiatric outpatient program, and dodging mysterious telephone calls and people following him in black cars. With a long string of compulsions and bizarre behaviors he appears from most accounts, to be crazy. So why do strangers keep seeming to want something from him and why are they referring to him as "doctor"?
The real mystery concerns what is driving his decision to drop out and live on the fringe. Murray's journey is one of psychological intrigue, in which the story-within-a-story, and even the names of his fellow travelers, provide clues to unravel the mystery. From his friend Molly who is held together with paperclips and rubber-bands, to his cat he is convinced talks to him, to his mother who constantly reminds him he is a loser, to his unlikely friendship with Juno, a Tarot card reading jewel thief, Murray winds his way through a cast of underground characters to come out exactly where we all strive to be: with the wisdom and luck to hide in broad daylight and never be exposed.
